The myth of Hitler as the "imperfect Aryan" with brown eyes is often spouted and propagated by the same individuals who would have us believe that Hitler was a Jew or a homosexual - myths which can be easily disproved and are completely rejected by mainstream Hitler biographers.
One of the first things people noticed about Hitler was his "large, clear, and blue eyes." Dr. Ernst Hanfstaengl remarks in his article in Collier's, August 4, 1934 that, He [Hitler] had clear blue eyes and in them there was neither guile nor fear. There was honesty; there was sincerity; there was a hint of scorn." When Karl Ludecke first heard Hitler speak, he wrote, "Hitler was a slight, pale man with brown hair parted to one side. He had steel-blue eyes[...]" Leon Degrelle says in The Enigma of Hitler that, "Hitler had deep blue eyes that many found bewitching." Sefton Delmer of the Daily Express wrote on 23rd February, 1933, "Hitler watched them for a few moments, a savage fury blazing from his pale blue eyes." Martha Dodd writes in her book Through Embassy Eyes that, "Hitler's eyes were startling and unforgettable - they seemed pale blue in color, were intense, unwavering, hypnotic."
Hundreds of other, similar quotes are to be found in mainstream Hitler biographies. From John Toland to Alan Bullock, historians agree: Hitler had blue eyes. To deny this is contrary to all reason, for a brown-eyed Hitler would've had to get his brown eyes from nowhere, as both his parents had blue eyes also.
Another even more common myth is the one that Hitler was Jewish. One need not rely on quotations to disprove this - simple facts will suffice. The discovery of one Katharina Salomon - an apparently Jewish-sounding name - first started speculations about Hitler's supposed Jewish ancestry. Actually, Saloman was the daughter of Johann Salomon, a Catholic. Later on, it was found that the Catholic Katharina Salomon did not even belong on Hitler's family tree;.she was replaced by Maria Hamberger.
One newspaper went so far as to publish the pedigree of one Klara Hitler, a Jew born in 1821. This was supposedly Hitler's mother - even though the Jewess in question would have been 78 years old at the time of Hitler's birth.
The most common story of Hitler's alleged Jewishness comes originally from Hans Frank, who claimed that before Hitler's father was born, Hitler's grandmother Schicklgruber had been a cook in Graz, in the household of a Jew by the name of Frankenberger; that she had become pregnant by the son of the house, and that for the next fourteen years she had received child support payments. According to Frank, this information came directly from Hitler, who said that his grandmother had told him this. Frank's statement is obviously false, for Hitler's grandmother had died 42 years before Hitler was even born. And not only that: no record exists of either a Frankenberger or a Frankenreiter in Graz. In fact, not a single Jew lived anywhere in the entire province until after 1856. Hitler's father was born twenty years earlier, a fact which lays this fraudulent theory to rest.
Despite this, and despite the fact that every genealogist who has ever studied Hitler's family tree has confirmed his Aryan ancestry, Jews and lemmings continue to divide and weaken National Socialists by throwing out these foul lies. Next time, don't believe them! And cite a few, simple facts.
